Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for stainless steel, leading to excessive heat and work hardening.Employ high-speed steel or carbide-tipped cutting tools specifically rated for stainless steel, utilizing proper lubrication and cutting speeds.
Inadequate clamping of the sheet during abrasive or polishing processes, resulting in vibration and inconsistent surface finish.Utilize robust workholding fixtures and clamps to firmly secure the sheet, minimizing movement and ensuring uniform pressure application.

Common Applications
